Dear Member / Friend,
This year has been a very difficult one for everybody, but most so for the blind/visually impaired persons. Many refrained from attending the Day Centre and many were unable to be taken out for a walk or sit on their porch and talk to all passers by. All had to wear the mask which made it so much painful. And we had to live with the thought that the risk for us to get the virus because of our intrinsic vulnerability was at a high rating. The Society had to refrain from organizing get together groups, outings, the Annual General Meeting and above all had to cancel the Christmas/New Year buffet lunch.
The committee has been busy in making contacts with many of you and assisting you where at all possible; giving advice and getting talking gadgets from UK for all but especially newly blind persons, etc.
We had to boost your morale somehow this Christmas. We are therefore organizing a raffle with so many gifts for the winners. This will help us to renew our contacts and get to talking with each other again. It will unite us again as a group who believe in giving support to each other, whoever you are and whatever the disability that you have.
So we encourage you to join in and participate, speak to your friends and share your love with each other.
At the same time we remind you to please not forget to renew your membership.
You will get two raffle tickets for your Eur 10 membership. You can get more tickets for your self or for your friends at Eur 5 each.
You can find more information in our Raffle post.
We take this opportunity to give you our love and a big hug for Christmas.
Yours sincerely,
The Committee,
The Malta Society of the Blind.
